Answer:

Part a) Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes

Part b) Ms. Winn bought 10 oz of cherries

Part c) Ms. Winn bought 2 oz more of grapes than cherries

Part d) Mr. Phillips bought 6 more ounces of fruit than Ms. Winn

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) How many ounces of grapes did Ms. Winn buy?

Remember that

1\ lb=16\ oz

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Ms. Winn bought 3/4 lb of grapes

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

\frac{3}{4}\ lb= \frac{3}{4}(16)=12\ oz

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes

Part b) How many ounces of cherries did Ms. Winn buy?

Remember that

1\ lb=16\ oz

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Ms. Winn bought 5/8 lb of cherries

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

\frac{5}{8}\ lb= \frac{5}{8}(16)=10\ oz

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 10 oz of cherries

Part c) How many more ounces of grapes than cherries did Ms. Winn buy?

Subtract the ounces of cherries from the ounces of grapes

so

12\ oz-10\ oz=2\ oz

therefore

Ms. Winn bought 2 oz more of grapes than cherries

Part d) If Mr. Phillips bought 1 3/4 pounds of raspberries, who bought more fruit, Ms. Winn or Mr. Phillips? How many ounces more?

Remember that

1\ lb=16\ oz

To convert lb to oz multiply by 16

we know that

Mr. Phillips bought 1 3/4 pounds of raspberries

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

1\frac{3}{4}\ lb=\frac{1*4+3}{4}=\frac{7}{4}\ lb

Convert lb to oz

Multiply by 16

\frac{7}{4}\ lb= \frac{7}{4}(16)=28\ oz

Remember that

Ms. Winn bought 12 oz of grapes and 10 oz of cherries

In total Ms. Winn bought

12 oz+10 oz=22 oz -----> total ounces of fruit

so

Mr. Phillips bought 28 oz of fruit

Ms. Winn bought 22 oz of fruit

28\ oz > 22\ oz

Find the difference

(28\ oz-22\ oz)=6\ oz

therefore

Mr. Phillips bought 6 more ounces of fruit than Ms. Winn

Fred and Frank play a game. Fred picks an even number X and asks Frank to add all even numbers between 0 and X (inclusive) as fa
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

The even numbers between 0 and X represents an arithmetic sequence with a common difference of 2

The rule of arithmetic sequence = a + d(n - 1)

Where a is the first term and n is the number of terms

So, for the even numbers between 0 and X

The first term = a = 0

d = 2

So, we need to find n at the last term which is X

∴ X = 0 + 2 ( n -1 )

∴ n - 1 = X/2

∴ n = X/2 + 1

The sum of the arithmetic sequence = (n/2) × (2a + (n−1)d)

Substitute with a and d and X

So, the sum = (n/2) * (2*0 + (n−1)*2)

                   = (n/2) * ((n−1)*2)

                   = n(n-1)

                   = (X/2 + 1) * (X/2)

                   = X/2 by (X/2 + 1)

So, The quick way to add all even numbers between 0 and X always works.

What is the pressure in atmospheres exerted by a 0.500 mole sample of nitrogen gas in a 10.0 L container at 25.0°C?
drek231 [11]

Answer:

1.2218 atm

Step-by-step explanation:

From ideal gas formula,

PV=nRT

Where n= number of moles

V= volume

T= temperature=25.0°C

= (273 + 25) = 298 K

R= gas constant = 0.082 l atm /K mol.

Making P subject of formula we have

P= [nRT] /V

Then substitute the values we have

P= [0.5 x 0.082 x 298] / 10

P= 1.2218 atm
